Abstract (en)

The present invention relates to a method for radio communication within a mobile radio communications network, wherein information is transmitted via dedicated radio (Cell A_m) cells from a radio network node (A eUTRAN BS) serving said radio cells to at least one mobile station, whereby information further comprises pilot information for identifying said transmitted information at said mobile station with respect to the origin of said information and/or to said radio cell carrying said information. Preferably the pilot information is signalled with a signal power needed within said dedicated radio cell carrying said information. The dedicated radio cells preferably provides multicast communication, in particular multimedia broadcast multicast services (= MBMS). The radio network node can serve radio cells (Cell A_u) providing unicast communication and dedicated radio cells (Cell A_m) providing multicast communication. The invention also relates to a radio communications network and network entities, e.g. a radio network node like a base station and a mobile station, comprising means for radio communication and for performing the above mentioned inventive method.
